A wonderful section of #WyeValleyWalk from Builth Wells to Newbridge on Wye today, using the #TrawsCymru T4.

Cold to start, but the sun soon came out and the riverbank and Beltane woods were viscerally, achingly beautiful.

A day to make the heart sing, with some lovely human interaction (for someone who likes solitude); kindness from a bus driver, a beekeeper and campervan driver.

Lovely Bronze Age standing stone too.

Back on the #WyeValleyWalk for Easter Saturday. An incredibly beautiful walk between Boughrood and Builth Wells/Llanfair-ym-Muallt.

Barely saw anyone in 6 hours. Managed to fit in some prehistoric detours en-route: a fine standing stone, two Bronze Age round barrows, a Bronze Age cairn, two hilllforts and a joy of a very obscure stone circle with magic views of the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons.

Last summer I started on a long held ambition to walk the River Wye/Afon Gwy from Severn to source. After doing 70 miles of the #WyeValleyWalk a combination of train difficulties, worsening weather and finally Covid stopped my progress at Hay on Wye.

Delighted to be back on it today, a short 8 mile section of changeable spring weather and stunningly beautiful scenery between Hay and Boughrood, the Black Mountains an ever present companion.
